P/1084 at the Brussels Racing Show circa Dec 1968

[SunDude (Brian)]

Here's a (webfind) photo you likely haven't seen before. It's P/1084 on display at the Brussels Racing Show circa Dec 1968, re-numbered to resemble the Le Mans-winning car (P/1075).

Can anyone here confirm the exact dates of the Brussels Racing Show? The 1967 and 1971 events were held in Dec, so I assume this is the typical timing.

Is it not P1075 with N° 9 from Rodriguez/Bianchi in 1968 Le Mans winner ?

 

[SunDude (Brian)]

Nope. P/1075 has a completely different nose paint treatment, and the #9 script was also different.

The SAAC Registry outlines that P/1084 was re-numbered and exhibited at the Brussels Racing Show in late 1968, although doesn't specify the exact dates of the event.

Just for grins, this is 1086 when it was in Monterey during car week many years ago at the Baha Cantina show.

you are correct on the nose paint treatment

And on the script/typeface used for the no. 9:
